I 100% agree. I've ran into the same issues, and I would never use Next.js for anything, and I will encourage every team at work to use something else.

In general Next.js has so many layers of abstraction that 99.9999% of projects don't need. And the ones that do are probably better off building a bespoke solution from lower level parts.

Next.js is easily the worst technology I've ever used.

Second worst for me. I’ve used Sharepoint.

Third worst if you have used Lotus Notes mail. I still don't understand how an email and calendar client can slow down a computer like that (going by memory, the last time I used it was at work in 2013 so pre-SSD days).

Well... I don't know exactly what the OP meant by "technology", but Notes at least wasn't supposed to be a development platform.

It surely was a development platform, but wasn't supposed to be one.

You just reminded me of the nightmare Lotus Notes was.

Everyone at IBM when I worked where used Fetchnotes (internal tool that leaked onto the internet that wraps Lotus notes .so file and allows you to use normal email / contact / calendaring programs and formats).

I should have been more specific here indeed. I meant more library or framework, not technology in the broader sense. My apologies.
